Penny is growing fast

Sam's Bedtime

Samantha has taken to insisting we take her picture every night after her bath.
this is just a few of those photos.

This one was taken just as she is throwing a punch.

The Murrenbatman Fair

I'm sure that's not how you spell it but Paul is not here to ask.
Anyway Penny slept the entire time and Sam had a great time and got a new hat and umbrella.

Penny's eyes look almost brown in this photo but they are just a very dark blue.

What a mess

I have known for a while now that when you haven't heard Sam for a bit you had better go looking for her cause she is doing something she shouldn't.
But sometimes your just not quick enough.
This day she found the baby powder.

Lots of photos of Penny

Lots of photos of Sam

Black Mountain Tower

Sam had been pointing to the tower when ever she saw it for a while so we decided to take her for a closer look.

I never would have thought that a two and a half year old would get such a thrill out of it.

Now she wants to go to the Tower all the time.

Catch up

Our backyard is such a jungle, but this is a good photo of Sam.
A couple of months ago we went to a fair and Sam got her face painted. I thought she was so cute I couldn't stop laughing.

Our little Girl is growing up.

Space

Yesterday I was tidying the kitchen bench and mumbling to myself. "Space, Mummy needs space."
Sam ran off saying, "I'll get it, I'll get it."
I was dumfounded, and intrigued as to what she had gone to get.
Paul followed her and realised she was trying to get the globe that sits on the top of her chest of draws.
She is surprising us every day now with the things she is picking up.

Update

Sam jumpes on her trampoline at least every other day and she jumpes on our bed every single day. She is going to have the strongest legs.

The other day one of Paul's friends came over and he said "Ha, Look at the way she is sitting on the couch." and I said "Well look at the way I am sitting."

Like mother like daughter.

The other morning Sam was trying to get me out of bed and she said "Mummy want coffee?" I said "Yes darling you go make Mummy a cup of coffee." So she ran out of the room, next thing I hear the kettle switch on. As you can imagine I flew out of bed, I had not idea she knew what to do. The kettle has now been moved.

Summertime in Aus

We have had a really hot summer so far and have been swimming a lot.


And also running around the house with not much on eating icy poles.

Christmas day

We all had a great Christmas day, it started at 6.00 when Sam got her first presents.
She took to unwrapping like a duck to water.


We had to be out at Mum's at 8.30 which was hard because it takes us 45 minutes to get there but we made it.
We had an awesome breakfast with plenty of food.
There was Mum, Boris, Nan, Uncle Ticky, Joe, Jenny, Mark, Chelsea and us.
Pat and Jamie had decided to spend this year with her Mum down the coast.
Sam was so excited when Chelsea arrived.


Thanks to the Manning's for Sam present the Busy Book is so great. it kept her busy most of the way down to the coast where we went after boxing day.
Uncle Mark and Sam's cousins Abby and Wil joined us for a couple of days.

They where great company and Sam really enjoyed it.We also went to the Zoo.
